    Significant heat loss from plasterboard wall, damp or uninsulated?

    So I've had a look through the dwarf walls. As suspected, the previous owner built them as single brick walls & looks to have just put uninsulated plasterboard directly on the timber frame built in front of the bricks. This means that not only are those walls uninsulated, hence their...
